Speakup Configurator

After sending sp-config to the list yesterday, I learned from a couple
DoubleTalk users that the tone and pitch parameters are apparently
different from how they work with the Speakout, my box of choice.

The program simply sends the parms to /proc/speakup/<whatever> like rate
goes to /proc/speakup/rate. I gues what I need next are two things:
- The various allowed parms for each synthesiser supported by Speakup.
- A good solid method of detecting what synth is currently being used.

I guess the second could be resolved in the short term by capturing the
name on the command line using the speakup-defined synthesiser names.
Since I don't own any of the other synth's, I'll have to colect this info
from you all; gee, this might repeat what other speakup developers have
done already:).

Once I have the synthesiser identified, I could go and add the additional
parms supported by that box as long as /proc/speakup files are available.

Thanks for the help.
